In addition, the students' teachers in Swedish each answered a separate questionnaire regarding their attitude towards grammar. The results show that the students with good basic grammar skills master de 'they' or dem 'them' better than the students whose grammarly skills are more limited. Furthermore, the teachers who show the most positive attitude towards grammar teach in the classes that have received the highest results in both the grammar- and the de 'they' / dem 'them'-part of the questionnaire.
